Ossur Form Fit Wrist Brace with Thumb Spica for Osteoarthritis
Over time, you can lose some of the cartilage protecting the ends of your bones, leading to a painful condition called osteoarthritis. The Ossur Form Fit Wrist Brace With Thumb Spica for Osteoarthritis restricts the movement of the wrist and thumb, helping to treat osteoarthritis symptoms. At the same time, its lightweight composition and three-dimensional moulded padding make it comfortable enough for long-term wear.
Our Pick for Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a serious condition and as such, it requires more protection and support than more common conditions. The Ossur Form Fit Wrist Brace provides a higher level of support than most wrist braces and also includes an integrated thumb spica to increase protection further.
How Does the Wrist Brace with Thumb Spica Work?
Osteoarthritis can cause pain and stiffness, limiting your mobility and making daily tasks more challenging. By supporting your wrist and thumb, the brace allows you to regain movement in your fingers while giving the other parts of your hand a rest. Dedicated use of the brace can even shorten the rehabilitation time of an injury, such as a sprain.
How Much Support Does This Brace Offer?
This brace provides superior structural stability of the wrist and thumb which can help to treat a variety of conditions. Adjustable stays in the palm and forearm section can be easily customised for more targeted, personalised support.
Sizing Information
The brace comes in two different lengths (small and standard) and five different sizes ranging from extra small to extra large, and is based on your wrist's circumference. Please consult the table below to see which size is best for you. It also comes in two specific versions for the left and right hand, so make sure you select the correct side.
